Chapter 18: Sakura's Retreat?

(The first update ~ There are two more after it ~ and the extra fan of the Lori vampire ~ ask for recommendation, ask for collection ~)

In a small hidden courtyard deep in the woods, the best and most ventilated room is the place that Ken arranged for Sakura, the "patient", and for Sakura, who is extremely weak, this also provides a lot of benefits for her recovery these days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Counted, in her memory of almost twenty-five years, only as the youngest daughter of the Tosaka family, there were such idle days in the first few years of the ignorant girl period, although now her heart is still vigilant, but it cannot be denied that her current mood is relatively relaxed.

Quietly flipping through the magic books borrowed from Ken, Sakura is also studying carefully, different from when she was in the Tosaka family, now she is reading at the same time, carrying out some kind of understanding, she knows very well, since she has fallen into this extraordinary realm, then, only to learn to use, can live.

Speaking of which, Sakura was also surprised, originally just wanted to behave more "normal", so she made a "request" to the "former magician" with some kind of performance of a girl who had "experienced it like this", but what she didn't expect was that the man actually agreed in one bite.

Then the day before yesterday, he took out such a book from his "collection of nostalgia for his past" and gave it to Sakura, a girl who "will be a little inconvenient to move", to relieve her boredom.

And Sakura will not let go of this opportunity after seeing Ken's attitude, as long as there is something he doesn't understand in the past two days, he usually asks, and Ken is very friendly to answer, and this also makes his attitude better, at least compared to the initial defense, much less.

"Although it's some very elementary questions, I have to say, Sakura, you're really smart, because these are the main points that any magician who has studied the system must memorize, and it seems that the head of the Tosaka family has really poor eyesight."

This was the sigh that Ken smiled after answering a lot of questions from Sakura at that time, and what he confirmed was that the girl in front of him had indeed not studied magic, if it was a play, then, with a bone age of only four years, it would be too terrifying to be able to do it to this extent, or too unrealistic.

To some extent, this can also be regarded as a mutual temptation between Sakura and Ken, and as a result, it seems that Sakura is on the same page, but it is on par, because the two of them understand some things at the same time, but they both have new doubts.

Actually, Ken spent most of his time with the young children he had adopted, yes, adopted, and almost all of the children who live here now were orphans that Ken had adopted in the intervening three or four years since he came to Toki.

And the one who spent the longest time with Sakura was the cute and impeccable girl in front of me in every way.,Ken's daughter.,A child named Aki.,Almost half of the time,She's with Sakura.,And the reason,It's probably because she likes Sakura very much.。

As usual, it was about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, when Sakura was sitting on the bed and finished reading the magic book, the lively and innocent girl rushed in without knocking on the door, and then rushed towards Sakura, who was wearing a bigger pajamas on the bed.

Sakura put the book directly on the bedside table next to her, and then shrunk back to avoid Aki's flutter, but Aki, who had long been accustomed to this situation, did not look discouraged at all, and directly lifted Sakura's quilt, and then ......

"Huh? Sister Sakura! Where's your tail? Where is your comfortable tail hidden?! Ay? And your two cute cat ears?! Where have they gone? ”

Relying on Sakura's weakness at this time, Aki, who was much smaller than her in strength, pressed Sakura directly under her, and then turned over and over, after not finding any trace of her No. 1 target, she immediately moved to the search for No. 2 target, and her voice full of disappointment and surprise also showed that her actions were in vain.

"It's all hidden by Uncle Ken."

After hearing Aki's words, Sakura replied to Aki with a soft voice, but not half an undulating tone, and this answer full of cold humor also made the whole room fall silent again for a while.

“…… Hmm...... Sakura-chan ......"

To Sakura's surprise, after she suddenly said this, Ai Qi suddenly behaved a little special, as if she had thought of something difficult but reluctant to try.

The next moment, when Sakura just noticed the strangeness of this little girl, Aiqi directly put her face in front of Sakura, looked at Sakura very seriously, lowered her face, and fixed Sakura's somewhat weak body, unable to move.

"If it's Sakura-chan, it's not impossible to share Dad~ But Sakura-chan wants to promise me that she will be with me forever~ far away in the future! Ai Qichao~ I like Sakura-chan and say~Wooh~ If we are together forever, Dad said that I want to be like this~"

Aki looked at Sakura with those golden eyes and expectant eyes, with some innocent excitement...... And the charming voice said, and the next moment, she opened her mouth slightly, slowly lowered, and looked at Sakura's pink face.

“……”

At this moment, Sakura's eyes flashed with some brilliance, she found something, with some transcendent perception, she caught some changes, and it was also due to this momentary distraction, and the shift of attention, the cat ears and cat tail that were originally hidden by her were about to emerge, breaking the somewhat strange atmosphere here.

"Huh? Sakura-chan's cute little ears and little tail are back! Because of the sudden change in Sakura's body, Aiqi stopped her original movements, blinked her eyes, and stared blankly at her two original goals, and the strange feeling that Sakura felt was gone.

"Alas! I said, ......."

Just when Aiqi was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while, and Sakura didn't say anything, a neutral and helpless voice suddenly sounded, and this also made the two little girls on the bed tilt their heads towards the door, where Ken, the only adult who lived here, was standing.

"Little Edge! How many times have I said it, Sakura's body is very weak now, don't disturb her rest, next time I'm like this, I'm going to lock you up! ”

The corners of Ken's mouth deflated, and he pretended to be stern and said to his precious daughter, but the gesture without the slightest deterrence, and the sentence that did not even change the trick, indicated that his "blame" was quite weak.

"I didn't disturb Sakura-chan's rest! I'm afraid Sakura-chan will be too lonely alone, so I came to accompany Sakura-chan! Dad, don't talk nonsense! ”

Aiki turned her head and grimaced at her father, sticking out her tongue cutely, and said in a vibrant voice, of course, ignoring her hand that grabbed Sakura's cattail.

"Uncle Ken, are you back? What's going on out there? Sakura quietly hid her tail behind her, and asked the gentle Ken, though she could guess something depending on the current situation......

Yes, Ken went out early this morning, and the reason he said was to replenish some food and daily necessities, but, by the way, it was also a good opportunity to get some general information, wasn't it?

"Ah~ The situation outside, how to say it, roughly calculated, it's okay~ So, there's nothing to worry about." Ken said with a smile after hearing Sakura's words again, then turned his face to the side to focus on Aki, who was focusing on Sakura's ears.

"Little Aki, Yumi and Ran are all looking for you to play~ I said I wanted to hear you sing, and now, I can just check Sakura's physical condition." Ken's soft voice made Edgie turn her head, and then, caught in some contradictions.

“…… Okay~ Then I'll come back to Sakura-chan to play later! I still have Ku-chan to play with Yumi and them first! Sakura-chan must be healed before I come back! Then, we can play together! ”

Frowning, biting his fingers, he looked at Sakura, and after thinking for a long time, Aiqi nodded, then jumped off the bed, said a innocent command to Sakura, and jumped out of the room.

"Uncle Ken, Aiqi has already gone away, please tell me if there is anything."

After Aiqi left for a while, Sakura focused her attention and hid the cat ears and tail on her body according to the instructions of the magician in front of her two days ago, and said directly to Ken.

"Hehe~ Sakura is really a very smart child, in fact, there is no big deal, I didn't plan to mention it, but since Sakura-chan, you asked, I will tell you too, I plan to move out of Fuyuki City with everyone after a while."

Ken sat on the chair next to him, laughed softly, and said slowly, while Sakura, who heard his words, frowned slightly, for what was happening now, she was a little unexpected.

"Is it because of me? Tosaka family? Sakura looked up at Ken and asked him calmly, which was the best response she had for the situation.

"No, well, it's not just because of you, although you're a primer." After hearing Sakura's words again, Ken smiled heartily and replied gently to Sakura, and after seeing Sakura's inquiring eyes, he continued.

"I really should say Sakura, your luck is good, the day you escaped, in fact, the head of the Tosaka family was at war with an unknown magician, and it is probably for this reason that I didn't take care of you, the situation over there is really a bit miserable~"

"And, one thing is certain, you can know from those gem magic envoys that the Tosaka family has been tracking you down......"

While telling the superficial news he had quietly learned, Ken looked at Sakura with some special eyes, and Sakura was calm, and after Ken's voice fell, he spoke unhappily,

"This was all expected, Uncle Ken, you should want to say more than that, right?"

"Hehe~ Sakura, you're really a smart kid!"
